We both like similar things. We have similar artists we look up to. But when it comes to the specifics—a technique, or a priority—we often conflict about what we should do next or how something should look, what combination is better than the other. It’s always the subjective things. We both are visionaries. It’s a power struggle in many ways. But I think our relationship is stronger for actually confronting it. We do not shy away from it.

We’re playing with how to either streamline that a little more or find a way to make them a little more efficiently... We are also trying to expand to offer some workshops where you can come and build your own bunny. We want to meet people. We want to build a community around what we’re up to.
